I finally got your cx88 source driver to compile on a FC3 system. I did in fact have to install the kernel source but then I had to copy 6 or 7 files from the source and put it in your source directory for it to compile. Now when I install my Avermedia M150, it gets recognized as a cx88 card. When I go to modprobe the card as

modprobe cx88xx card=12modprobe cx8800modprobe cx88-blackbird

I get all kinds of errors on the second and third modprobes. The first one works. I'm I missing any steps here? I think I heard something of ivtv emulation. How does this work? And is there a special firmware I'm supposed to use for a blackbird card? I assume so. Thanks again.

1. select the md where you have the card2. this is the name of the software package: cx88-firmware-blackbird-2.6.10-43. this is the Repository URL: http://www.geocities.com/download2kx01/4. check Debian Repository5. Repository Name: realextra mainThat should do it.

Thanks for your reply. Yes your correct, I'm not using a pluto system. I'm trying to get this card to work outside of Pluto. I wanna see if this driver really works like you say. So even though this is a deb repository, the firmware will still work on a FC3 system? Also, do the card modprobe options look right or is there something I'm missing involving this ivtv emulation? Is this emulation already in your code somewhere? Thanks again.

It doesn't look you have a Pluto system (otherwise you'd just check the 'cx88 box' rather than build from source ).

But even without it, you can still find the firmware on that or other sites, and there are utilities to extract it from the windows drivers that shipped with your card.

Hi, I have Leadtek PVR2000.

Can you give a hint, how can I find a suitable firmware for it, or how can I extract fw from windows driver? I'm using Fedora, and I compiled and load cx88 drivers from pluto project, but I cannot extract debian package with firmware.
